Vets do NOT diagnose dogs based upon size. You can tell that to some, but not to me. You see it all the time? Where??? No, it is NOT surprising to me that the vet wants money up front....what do you expect? That is normal procedure. Veterinary care is not free. I make arrangements to have the money needed for my pups...I don't expect a hand out.
What is surprising to me is that people believe you.
Those things are not THAT hard to diagnose IF proper diagnostics are done. This has not been going on since October as you said, but since May! You are telling me that you allowed vets to do proper diagnostics and they missed the mark by that much; but you believe the new one. Sorry....but others may buy it...I don't. Either you did not allow the diagnostics or you did not go to that many vets. I don't know what the story is, but I don't believe that many vets made an error like that. LS does not take a rocket scientist to diagnose.
WhatEVER.
And, yes you did say you diagnosed and treated. I did not accuse you...I merely said what I believe based on what I could make out of your writings.
You treated WITHOUT a proper diagnosis.
I hope that you are now going to get the proper testing done and that your pup can now be treated properly! He will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
